The Billboard Music Awards is adding a Modern touch for this year’s ceremony.
EW has learned exclusively that Emmy Award-winning pair Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, best known as Claire and Phil Dunphy on Modern Family, will host the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on May 20.
The pair, who won Emmys in the Supporting Actor categories last year, are following in the footsteps of Community actor Ken Jeong, who helmed the award show and received largely favorable reviews.
The Billboard Music Awards will air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET. And Modern Family airs Wednesdays.

Downton Abbey‘s Maggie Smith, Modern Family, and Ricky Gervais’s An Idiot Abroad all scored nods for the 2012 BAFTA TV awards. The most nominations went to serial killer thriller Appropriate Adult (not yet broadcast in the U.S.), which netted five noms including acting awards for its stars Dominic West, Emily Watson, and Monica Dolan (Never Let Me Go). Modernized Holmes-and-Watson mystery Sherlock followed close behind with three nominations for leads Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, plus Andrew Scott as the diabolical Moriarty. Smith will compete to win Best Supporting Actress, while her co-star Hugh Bonneville, though not nominated for Downton, earned a nod for the comedy program Twenty Twelve.

An Idiot Abroad is categorized as “Reality & Constructed Factual,” while Modern Family competes in the international race alongside the Danish inspiration for The Killing, Forbrydelsen. In documentaries, the September 11-based program 9/11: The Day That Changed the World was also acknowledged, and last April’s Royal Wedding could win the BAFTA for “Sport & Life Event” coverage (though I hear fellow nominee Frankenstein’s Wedding: Live in Leeds was positively electrifying).
